Docket No:

_-

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the
provisions of title 10 of the United States Code, section 1552.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive
session, considered your application on 11 January 2991. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative regulations and procedures
applicable to the proceedings of this Board. Documentary material considered by the Board
consisted of your application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, your
naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board found that the
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.

The Board found that on 26 March 1999, the Physical Evaluation Board determined that you
were unfit for further service because of multiple right ankle sprains and right knee
patellofemoral pains syndrome, which were rated at a combined 20%. You Accepted those
findings on 12 April 1999, and were subsequently discharged by 
physical,disability
RE-
with entitlement to disability severance pay. You were assigned a reenlistment code of 
3P, to indicate that you require a waiver of physical disqualification in order to reenlist.

reaSOn of 

The Board noted that your discharge was based, in large part, on your subjective complaints
of chronic lower extremity pain. The fact that your symptoms have subsided and you are
presently medically qualified for enlistment was considered insufficient to demonstrate that
your discharge in 1999 was erroneous.
The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.

Accordingly, your application has been denied.

It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be
taken. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new

and material evidence or other matter not previously considered by the Board. In this
regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption of regularity attaches to all official
records. Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval record, the
burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or
injustice.

Sincerely,

W. DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director
